NASAAstronaut Exercise (7/8/2008)
In the next 50 years, NASA plans to send astronauts to the Moon and Mars. These astronauts must follow a strenuous exercise program in-flight to prevent the health effects of space flight. These effects include decrease in bone and muscle mass, strength, sensory-motor function (i.e. balance), and the ability to perform aerobic exercise.
